While playing with it, here are some problems I noticed. I hit ^ to make Gnus find a news article that had expired from one of my nntp groups. Gnus used google to bring the article in, and the article looked fine, except that it had a few garbage characters at the bottom. Then I used `B c' to copy the article to an nnfolder group, and there the article didn't appear in the summary because it was corrupted: there is a garbage line in the second line of the header, and there is garbage at the end. I've attached the article as it appear in my nnfolder file. Another minor comment: Gnus won't let me `!' an article, but it will let me `d' and `E' it. Not sure if this inconsistency is intentional. And a final comment: each time I view the article, Gnus downloads it again from google. I guess avoiding this would be difficult? -- Dan Christensen jdc+news@uwo.ca --=-=-= Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=bad-article2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 RnJvbSBub2JvZHkgV2VkIEFwciAxMCAxNjoyMTo0MyAyMDAyCjNkMg0KTWVzc2FnZS1JRDogPDND QTNEMzI3LjgwOTAzMDZAb25saW5ldGVzdGluZy5uZXQ+CkZyb206IEpvcmRhbiBIaWxsZXIgPGpo aWxsZXJAb25saW5ldGVzdGluZy5uZXQ+ClVzZXItQWdlbnQ6IE1vemlsbGEvNS4wIChXaW5kb3dz OyBVOyBXaW45ODsgZW4tVVM7IHJ2OjAuOS40KSBHZWNrby8yMDAxMTEyOCBOZXRzY2FwZTYvNi4y LjEKWC1BY2NlcHQtTGFuZ3VhZ2U6IGVuLXVzCk1JTUUtVmVyc2lvbjogMS4wCk5ld3Nncm91cHM6 IHJlYy5jbGltYmluZwpTdWJqZWN0OiBSZTogQ2xpbWJpbmcgaW4gQWxiZXJ0YSBDYW5hZGEKUmVm ZXJlbmNlczogPGE3cjdzNyQycWskMUBuZXdzZzEuc3ZyLnBvbC5jby51az4KQ29udGVudC1UeXBl OiB0ZXh0L3BsYWluOyBjaGFyc2V0PXVzLWFzY2lpOyBmb3JtYXQ9Zmxvd2VkCkNvbnRlbnQtVHJh bnNmZXItRW5jb2Rpbmc6IDdiaXQKRGF0ZTogRnJpLCAyOSBNYXIgMjAwMiAwMjozNDoyOCBHTVQK Tk5UUC1Qb3N0aW5nLUhvc3Q6IDE2MS4xODQuMTYxLjE3NQpYLVRyYWNlOiBuZXdzMS50ZWx1c3Bs YW5ldC5uZXQgMTAxNzM2OTI2OCAxNjEuMTg0LjE2MS4xNzUgKFRodSwgMjggTWFyIDIwMDIgMTk6 MzQ6MjggTVNUKQpOTlRQLVBvc3RpbmctRGF0ZTogVGh1LCAyOCBNYXIgMjAwMiAxOTozNDoyOCBN U1QKTGluZXM6IDIwClhyZWY6IGxvY2FsaG9zdCBzcGFtOjI0MQpYLUdudXMtQXJ0aWNsZS1OdW1i ZXI6IDI0MSAgIFdlZCBBcHIgMTAgMTY6MjE6NDMgMjAwMgoKCkknbSBpbiBFZG1vbnRvbiBhbmQg anVzdCBzdGFydGluZyB0byBsb29rIGZvciBzdW1tZXIgb3V0ZG9vciBwbGFjZXMuIEEgZmV3IApk ZWNlbnQgVVJMczoKCmh0dHA6Ly93d3cuZ3JpcHBlZC5jb20vTmV3L0NsaW1iQ2FuYWRhL2FsYmVy dGEvCmh0dHA6Ly93d3cud29ybGR3ZWIuY29tL3BhcmtzY2FuYWRhLWJhbmZmL2NsaW1iaW5nLmh0 bWwKaHR0cDovL3d3dy5jb21wdXNtYXJ0LmFiLmNhL3Jlc3FkeW4vYWNjLwoKU2lsdmVyZm94IHdy b3RlOgoKPiBDYW4gYW55b25lIGdpdmUgbWUgYW55IGluZm8gb24gY2xpbWJpbmcgaW4gQWxiZXJ0 YSA/Cj4gCj4gCj4gCgoKCg0KMA0KDQo= --=-=-=--
